Help- Mother of the Groom

[TheSpoonyNavyReader]

Help is needed, as I am running out of time to find the perfect dress.

I am looking for a dress for my sons wedding, the wedding is in a nice all day venue so I do not have to worry about being modest for a religious setting.

I am 5ft 4 size 12 with big boobs huge boobs, I have blonde hair and I am pale. I am 47 so do not want a run of the mill MOG outfit I have searched and searched and can not find anything please help.

Budget?
General ball park preferences?

And where have you already looked?

What time of the year will it be and what colours are the bridesmaids wearing?

@TheSpoonyNavyReader please say before you're thread is filled with eye watering beauties you can't afford. Or maybe you can. If so carry on. 😊

I can spend up to 1K.

The wedding is at the end of May

Bridemaids are wearing sage/Dusty Green.

I have looked at the Fold, most do not suit my shape.

Have you tried- https://snootyfrox.co.uk/categories/mother-of-the-bride-dresses/
my sister was mother of groom last September got a fabulous dress from here (she was 50)

I wonder if you might like some of Katya Wildman’s dresses.
Used to be Bombshell - some gorgeous designs.

Shibumi have a gallery of pictures of customers wearing their outfits…might give you some ideas. I hope you find something beautiful. 😀

What sort of colours and shapes do you like?

I’ll assume you’ve searched more than just one shop, @TheSpoonyNavyReader!

But The Fold clothes are very neat in their proportions, whereas it sounds as if you need something different. Have you looked at

Marina Rinaldi

Their clothes are cut to a larger scale so you may find them more accommodating. There’s a black and white spotty dress for about £850 that looks lovely, but I don’t know if you’d want black for a wedding.

You definitely need to say what you like. I’m a floaty, boho type of person and bought a beautiful dress, very me, off the peg from Hobbs for one of DCs weddings, the other I saw on a hire site and tracked the brand down and bought it. It wasn’t too hard for me, just kept dropping stuff I liked I to Pinterest until I saw “the one”.

I have searched all over, The Fold is the style I like.

I have to wear a 12 in a dress because of my 34 E boobs.

I have long legs for a short person.

I can’t do floaty dresses as the can look like a sack on me.

I need something and Style and Beauty people maybe able to find something for me, hence why I asked on here.

Have you looked at Beulah or Saloni?

I adore this dress from SALONI but I worry about the shelf effect with this neck line.

That’s lovely. I think the keyhole and folds will stop it being as shelf like as if the neckline were plain.

What about the Lea style?

Max Mara?

Hobbs?

I would book a few appointments with stylists at Selfridges, John Lewis etc with that budget.

You need a V neck to balance the bust.

This company do made to measure on this dress - they send out a sample and you say where you want the bust, hem, sleeves only £395 - not sure what range of prints/colours they do.
